The Miracle of Manifestation...Wishful Thinking or Reality?

I remember the first time I read a book about conscious creation. I was flabbergasted. I had been a "you show it to me and I'll believe it?kind of person. I thought you created things in your life by hard work and education and a few lucky breaks. I believed sometimes good things happened, sometimes bad things happened, and that's just the way life worked. And the book I was reading was saying, "That's not at all the way life works...you create every aspect of your reality." Whoa THIS was incredible. It took quite a bit of studying before I was brave enough to TRY to create something. It was scary to actually attempt to manifest something. What if it didn't work? Would that mean it really WASN'T true? I didn't want to risk the possibility...this concept was too magnificent. I imagined all I could create in my work if it WERE true...more money, more love, more success, more happiness. I HAD to try it. I spent 45 minutes every day for 30 days attempting to manifest $1,000. In two months time, I had manifested over $20,000 above my scheduled earnings. Out of thin air. I was a believer! Then I stopped trying. Fear struck. What if it were just a coincidence? What if I were just setting myself up for a huge disappointment? What if I really had NO control whatsoever? It took a long time before I tried manifesting again. I still didn't have proof it worked. And I doubt I ever will. What I have is an inner knowing that ours is a deeply loving universe and that we have a divinely given power to create our realities. That's all. Just a knowing. I also have hundreds of stories of anecdotal evidence that manifestatio
IS real. I have seen realities turn around on a dime with one little technique. I remember planning a trip to the mountains with my family. We were meeting some friends of ours who had headed up early, and before we left I received a phone call from them, "You better start programming my metaphysical friend advised. I know you ordered two adjoining rooms for your family and another room for us, but since the rooms are gratis and they are booked solid, they only have one room available! At first I panicked. All seven of us in one room would be impossible. Then I remembered. I have the power and ability to choose what I want in my world. I sat down, got quiet, and set the resonance. I remembered all the times in my life that travel plans had turned out better than expected. I filled myself with that knowing, excitement and anticipation. Then I did a quick but extremely powerful visualization technique. I did it once more, and felt it was done. I didn't need to repeat it the third time. A couple of minutes later, the phone rang. It was my friend, "Good job," she said, "We were given the room, and you were given a CONDO! We are sitting in it right now...in front of the fireplace overlooking the mountain." It works that easily. Over and over again I've seen manifestations in my and other's lives that seemed impossible. But they're not. That's the way reality really works. It's complicated, but simple. It takes patience, practice, and a willingness to explore who you are and your spiritual realm, but it's possible for every single one of us to manifest our heart's desires.
